I know Dial is the one that they use for bacterial. <br /><br />Elmer asked Anna and right now she is nervous about getting on here, but we are working on her. I told her to just tell me and I would put it on the computer, but she is still nervous. I know Jean and David raise beef cattle, hogs, and chicken for themselves, too. So if Anna, doesn't tell, maybe Jean will. But Elmer and I are trying to talk Anna into it.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />New York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-25949852149915181492013-09-30T23:05:18.908-04:002013-09-30T23:05:18.908-04:00I agree with carol, on your friend being denied su...I agree with carol, on your friend being denied surgery...they are so afraid of the flesh eating bacteria. Ask her to ask her doctor's nurse for an anti-bacterial soap to use the day of her next visit- to shower with it- even her hair.I went in for a diagnostic procedure a month ago, and they gave me a bar of soap to shower with..and they said it was for that very reason. And they looked all over for any open sores, scratches, etc....<br />I hope Elmer gets Anna to write about their meat canning. I know many asked me about it, but for a single family, it is far too expensive to do- freezing is best...but I know for a fact many Amish and Mennonites are set up for canning beef, chicken, pork...and there are 2 farmers up the road from me that raise beef and poultry, for a business and they can....But for a regular family that does not raise animals for food....it is hugely expensive for the equipment and the time it takes to pressure can- the electric goes out the roof!<br />We have friends that raise beef cattle, and they butcher their own and dress it, and will sell it too...Farmers, Amish , Mennonites, that are able to have many MANY people help- and share the labor and time , it is very cost effective, and WAY better product...I hope Elmer will talk more about that part of their food preserving.SueAnnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-34614334101406728992013-09-30T23:00:17.218-04:002013-09-30T23:00:17.218-04:00Hi Carol,

That held up the first time because of that, but she did as the doctors said and was ready to go that way. I didn't know about the small cuts, but it makes sense. When I fell and broke my ankle they did the surgery even though I had several cuts - but I guess they didn't have a choice with that. I really appreciate your help. Thank you for your prayers, I know Mary Lou will appreciate them. <br />Blessings to you,<br />MarilynNew York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-69657769778166953992013-09-30T21:07:03.354-04:002013-09-30T21:07:03.354-04:00Hi Marilyn, As far as the surgery being delayed ag...Hi Marilyn, As far as the surgery being delayed again-Dr was correct in his decision. They are not going to take any chances for an infection(no matter how small a break in the skin). Better to be as safe as possible than sorry. Hopefully all will go well when the time comes. From your reference to her "sugar", she's diabetic? So even more is it necessary for the doctors to be very cautious. Will be praying for her healing.

She has a very slight scratch on her lower leg and the doctor wouldn't do the surgery. You can hardly see the scratch, but still won't do it. So she has to go to the doctor in 10 days. Then we start all over again. She really feels bad as she was looking forward to getting it done. <br /><br />MarilynNew York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005870656044436056.post-63096190961064835972013-09-30T08:28:57.429-04:002013-09-30T08:28:57.429-04:00Hi Elmer, Thank you so much for your post!

Did you know the Nebraska Amish men do not wear suspenders at all? Apparently just hooks+eyes for their pants. Looking forward to you next post. <br />Hi Marilyn, Hope your friends surgery goes well. And ,in advance, Happy Birthday for your blog! Time sure flies when your having fun posting articles, pics, and all the writers allowing us to get to know them better. It's wonderful+thank you!

How nice of you to take the time to take her to the hospital. So many elderly people have no help from there familys. It is a blessing when you find a friend that will go out of there way for you. It looks like it may rain here today. Very dark out this morning. I may have some questions for Elmer later. I hope you all have a great Monday and another blessed week.

I took her a few months ago and the hospital sent her home because her sugar was so high. Hope all goes well and she gets it done this done. Poor thing can hardly walk, her knee's are so bad. If she gets one done today in three months she gets the other done. <br /><br />MarilynNew York State Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079961105585950354noreply@blogger.com
